I started using Clooz before I got TMG. Understand, however, that I am not
very experienced in either! I believe the strength that Clooz offers is with
the ease of entering data from Census, directories, documents (BDMB) and
generating reports. By entering the documents in Clooz, I can produce a
report for the Census that shows every person enumerated in that census
record with their age as given on the census and their address. This could
be every census I have entered or select counties, Countries,
States/Provinces, surnames or years. The same could be done for city
directories. Reports on the documents will show every person mentioned in
that document, assuming you link it to all the people!

In summary, I would say that Clooz gives me rapid access to my documents and
a way to assess the information I have accumulated. It is rumored that the
next release of Clooz may have added capability to record unsuccessful
searches, providing a research log (calendar). I currently use, and really
like, Bygones.

Yes, I just had a discussion at our TMG User Group about this very question.
I was about to use Clooz to enter my data and was told by the more
experienced TMG users that I could accomplish essentially the same thing in
TMG. We did not have time for the "how to's" to be in much detail, but it
gave me pause.

However, following this thread, I hope that those who also use Clooz could
say more about why they are using both Clooz and TMG and how much
information they actually put in Clooz? What does Clooz actually help you
do that TMG does not? Thanks. Franklin

I understand your filing system, but what does Clooz help you do?

Thanks -- Patty

I file my documents according to type rather than surname. I have several
categories, i.e.: births, marriages, deaths, obituaries, articles,
genealogies, etc. I then give each document a number (birth 0001, birth
0002, obit 0001). I'm using CLOOZ, though you could use Access or another
database. Each document goes into a separate acid-free sheet, a label with
number is put on upper right-hand corner of the sheet (and same number in
pencil on document), and the document is filed in a notebook according to
number.
